Netflix in January 2019: Every new movie and TV show joining, from Star Trek Discovery to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

The streaming service is on-hand to cure your post-New Year blues

The new year may have only just arrived, but there’s no time for rest over at Netflix.

With a bursting list of content to unleash upon its subscribers, the streaming service is on hand to cure your post-Christmas blues.

Look no further than the charming Sex Education, a brand new British comedy series starring Asa Butterfield (Hugo) as a young virgin living with his sex therapist mother (Gillian Anderson). Or there’s the swansong of A Series of Unfortunate Events and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which are both returning for one final stand before drawing to a close.

The anticipated continuation of Star Trek: Discovery will air weekly on Netflix in the UK, with The Punisher – one of the streamer’s remaining Marvel shows – seeing Jon Bernthal return as the titular villain for what will most likely be the final time before Disney+ puts an end to it.

You’ll also be able to settle down and enjoy films, including Hitch, The Blind Side and standout Austin Powers sequel, The Spy Who Shagged Me.

You can find a full list of everything joining Netflix in January below.
